For what you get in return, the Corolla is a decent package, and it's always been one of the lighter models in its class, and low weight certainly adds to the "tossability" of a car. For every Corolla out there with slippery or soft tires that responds like a slug, there's one with decent tires that will actually go where you steer it.
My '07 was actually surprisingly neutral. I was conditioned to believe that any FWD Toyota would be a plow fest. The '07 I had tossed that out the window... The 5-speed really helped make it fun, though. It's probably a car I'd still have if the driving position fit me better. I averaged about 35 city and 38 highway with it. It was just a good honest small car.

Corolla with 6 speed manual trans is actually a great car for the money if a person is on a budget. I would rather have new Corolla than redesigned Civic.
With a base Corolla you can still get it with a 4spd automatic but I don't think you can get cruise control with that model.

I very much agree.

The exterior of the redesigned civic is just, ?????? But I think Id take the Honda interior.
At least one can buy an MT corolla, that's something!

The '16 Corolla I rented last week is not a 400HP S2000, but I found it very fun. It's responsive steering, taught suspension, revvy engine and instant throttle response makes it a really fun car around town. The new Corolla is one of the best driving, reasonably inexpensive new cars around. It may be many things, but "numb" is not one of them.

I found hers to be the opposite...trans always in the wrong ratio, hard ride without any handling benefit, laggy throttle response. As I said: your basic transportation appliance, bland and boring. Honestly...I'd rather have a Mirage.

I like the redesign. At least the two door model. And yes, the interior is top-notch for sure. Very attractive.
